Returning the Server Module to Operation
This procedure describes how to clear a memory fault and how to verify the functionality of the replacement DIMM.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the following conditions are met:
The server module is in Standby mode (installed in a powered modular system, but the server module’s host is not started).
You have connectivity to the SP.
The method you use to clear a fault depends on how the fault is identified by the show faulty command.
Examples:
-> show faulty Target | Property | Value --------------------+------------------------+-------------------------------- /SP/faultmgmt/0 | fru | /SYS/MB/CMP0/BOB0/CH0/D0 /SP/faultmgmt/0 | timestamp | Dec 14 22:43:59 /SP/faultmgmt/0/ | sunw-msg-id | SUN4V-8000-DX faults/0 | | /SP/faultmgmt/0/ | uuid | 3aa7c854-9667-e176-efe5-e487e520 faults/0 | | 7a8a /SP/faultmgmt/0/ | timestamp | Apr 24 22:43:59 faults/0 | |
-> show faulty Target | Property | Value --------------------+------------------------+-------------------------------- /SP/faultmgmt/0 | fru | /SYS/MB/CMP0/BOB1/CH0/D0 /SP/faultmgmt/0 | timestamp | Apr 24 16:40:56 /SP/faultmgmt/0/ | timestamp | Apr 24 16:40:56 faults/0 /SP/faultmgmt/0/ | sp_detected_fault | /SYS/MB/CMP0/BOB1/CH0/D0 faults/0 | | Forced fail(POST)
In most cases, the replacement of the faulty DIMM is detected when the SP is power cycled. In this case, the fault is automatically cleared from the system. If the fault is still displayed by the show faulty command, then use the set command to enable the DIMM and clear the fault.
Example:
-> set /SYS/MB/CMP0/BOB0/CH0/D0 component_state=Enabled
-> set /SYS/keyswitch_state=Diag Set ‘keyswitch_state’ to ‘Diag’
-> stop /SYS Are you sure you want to stop /SYS (y/n)? y Stopping /SYS -> start /SYS Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y Starting /SYS
Note - The server module takes about one minute to power off. Use the show /HOST command to determine when the host has been powered off. The console will display status=Powered Off.
-> start /HOST/console
Watch the POST output for possible fault messages. The following output is a sign that POST did not detect any faults:
. . . 0:0:0>INFO: 0:0:0> POST Passed all devices. 0:0:0>POST: Return to VBSC. 0:0:0>Master set ACK for vbsc runpost command and spin...
Note - Depending on the configuration of Oracle ILOM variables that affect POST and whether POST detected faults or not, the system might boot, or the system might remain at the ok prompt. If the system is at the ok prompt, type boot.
-> set /SYS keyswitch_state=Normal Set ‘ketswitch_state’ to ‘Normal’
# fmadm faulty
No memory faults should be displayed.
If faults are reported, refer to the Diagnostics Process for an approach to diagnose the fault.
-> show faulty Target | Property | Value --------------------+------------------------+------------------------------- /SP/faultmgmt/0 | fru | /SYS/MB/CMP0/BOB0/CH0/D0 /SP/faultmgmt/0 | timestamp | Dec 14 22:43:59 /SP/faultmgmt/0/ | sunw-msg-id | SUN4V-8000-DX faults/0 | | /SP/faultmgmt/0/ | uuid | 3aa7c854-9667-e176-efe5-e487e520 faults/0 | | 7a8a /SP/faultmgmt/0/ | timestamp | Dec 14 22:43:59 faults/0 | |
-> set /SYS/MB/CMP0/BOB0/CH0/D0 clear_fault_action=true Are you sure you want to clear /SYS/MB/CMP0/BOB0/CH0/D0 (y/n)? y Set ’clear_fault_action’ to ’true’
Use the same UUID that was displayed from the output of the Oracle ILOM show faulty command.
